Charlottesville Victim Heather Heyer Told People in Crisis: 'It's Going to Be OK'

Source: The Daily Beast

For the last five years, she worked at Miller Law Group, a law firm that helps people going through bankruptcy. The firm’s president, Larry Miller, told The Daily Beast that Heyer had a gift for helping people facing financial disaster.

“She’d hold their hand and make sure they would get the stuff in timely, that way we wouldn’t have any issues,” Miller said. “She was really good that.”

Heyer gathered and entered data for people filing for bankruptcy – a complex process that required expert attention to detail. As part of that work, she often helped comfort people facing fear and uncertainty.

“She was compassionate,” Miller continued. “A lot of times, people that are in a financial situation have gotten there not really because what they have done, but because of some of the circumstances around that. They a lot of times are embarrassed about having to do something like a bankruptcy, and Heather was always saying, ‘It’s going to be OK.’”

I think we all feel horrible. So senseless. The world deprived of a good person by an asshole pushing hate.

We've got to make this stop.

There is a special place in heaven for her, if not through the Pearly Gates, then through a "back door."

No one ever wanted to see this, none except the perp and some of his followers

It takes a big macho man to murder a girl for political beliefs

She is a martyr. She has given all, and we must defend the freedom she believed in no matter what the cost.

We will finish this.

RIP Heather Heyer
